i'm a podfader... have had 3 vlogs up and down... mostly because i was experimenting and felt i "should have one" but i decided that until i am ready to do it right, my vlogging will be at evilvlog.
as for related projects... i did up vlogdir.com and offered out videobloggers.org for free hosting. before that, i was on the ourmedia.org launch team.
many many hours of work and play in the good ole vlogosphere.
i've spent about $50 on top of hosting fees which i would be paying for regardless of my participation in this space.
promotion... i blog updates and ping technorati etc.
i occasionally post here if something is news-worthy or if i have a request.
i havent received any money, havent used ads etc.
wouldnt mind some donations but i dont make a habit of asking.
i was working in NYC for Ultrastar Entertainment (ultrastar.com) but now work upstate NY for an IT Services company (minutes from my house ;-).
i am married and have a daughter and am now 31 years crazy.
out.

Would t-shirts be considered promotion? Did they cost nothing to make?
Rocketboom being successful early on probably helped in the zero dollars
promotion, as it was the subject of news stories and lots of buzz from
people, those who come later will most likely not benefit from such
attention. Look at podcasting, it's still easy as heck to get up and
running today, but to get noticed? It takes work... Back in September of
2004 if you had a podcast, chances are that everyone interested in
podcasting (a few hundred people?) knew about it.
Personally I think it's interesting to see where Rocketboom is going,
just as I'm interested to see where The Dawn and Drew Show is going, and
how it all ties into the new world of media I've been dreaming about for
years and years. The barriers to entry have gotten lower, and they are
still low, and let's hope they stay low.
As far as promotion, has anyone involved in videoblogging spent any
money on promotion? In what way? Did it pay off? Did it meet your
expectations?
